Correct Answer: 3:2:1


Solution : Answer = 3: 2: 1
Share of Profits given to Gopi=$\frac{1}{6}$

Share acquired by Gopi from Ram $=\frac{1}{2}$ of $\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}$
Share acquired by Gopi from Shyam $=\frac{1}{2}$ of $\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}$

Therefore,
Ram's new share after surrendering $\frac{1}{12}$ Gopi's favour $=\frac{7}{12}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{6}{12}$
Shy am's new share after surrendering $\frac{1}{12}$ in Gopi's favour $=\frac{5}{12}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{4}{12}$
Gopi's Share $=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{6}$

Hence, the new profit-sharing ratio of Ram, Shyam and Gopi will be :
=$\frac{6}{12}: \frac{4}{12}: \frac{1}{6}=\frac{6: 4: 2}{12}$=6: 4: 2=3: 2: 1.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
